Thirteen-year-old Rosie Beckett has never strayed further from her
family's farm than a horse can pull a cart. Then a letter from her Aunt
Euterpe arrives, and everything changes. It's 1893, the year of the
World's Columbian Exposition-the wonder of the age-a.k.a. the Chicago
World's Fair. Aunt Euterpe is inviting the Becketts to come for a visit
and go to the fair! Award-winning author Richard Peck's fresh,
realistic, and fun-filled writing truly brings the World's Fair-and
Rosie and her family-to life.
